As a newly formed startup in Chicago, we've fond we're not alone in our quest to create a successful small business. We're a media production company specializing in video, animation, and design. We'd like to offer our services to other local businesses to help them on their way and broaden their reach.

We are hopefully launching our beta within the next week. I would like to get a short explainer video done of what we do and get some testimonials once we launch. Here's a little description of what we do:

"Comment cards" have helped business owners since the beginning of time get feedback from customers, but ATB allows instant feedback (and pro-active response from the business!) via text message. The mistakes that businesses make can now be "made good on" before customers leave their location, by empowering the staff with real-time communication & feedback from customers, turning a "Negative" review into a "Positive" review when the customer makes it home. ATB also feature a robust phone list building system so customers can opt-in to a VIP list where they left feedback for a business.
